Super Bowl XLVI Media Day: The Day in Photos

The annual circus known as Super Bowl Media Day took place Tuesday morning at Lucas Oil Stadium. Every player and coach on each team (more or less) was made available to the media for an hour, with such outlets as Nickelodeon, VH1 and the Howard Stern Show partaking in the festivities.

Overall, Media Day was a bit muted compared to other years. A few clowns dressed up in costumes and acted goofy, but I was surprised with how much actual work I was able to accomplish today. The biggest revelation: Google the name Marisol Gonzalez. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

In between interviews, I was able to snap a few photos on my iPhone to take in the scene:

Here's a shot of the scene. Lots and lots of people

Star of the day: Marisol Gonzalez, former Miss Universe contestant and current reporter for Televisa Deportes

Ines Sainz was here too, of course, though not dressed as provocatively as in prevoius Media Days

And then there's this guy

For the first time ever, the Super Bowl sold tickets to Media Day. All 7,500 seats were sold for $25, though a rumor went around that tickets were being scalped for as much as $400. And look who we found -- an actual Dolphins fan.

Because we all need more Marisol Gonzalez in our lives
